Dear friends of Medicare,
The fate of Medicare is at stake. Although all federal parties claim to defend Medicare, the forces of privatization are hard at work.
The Medicare Protection Pledge was created by the Canadian Health Coalition, a non-partisan organization dedicated to protect and improve Medicare.
We urge you and others to SIGN THE ONLINE PETITION calling on public office holders and candidates in the federal election, to take the Pledge.
It only takes a minute. You can access the on-line petition at: http://www.petitiononline.com/pledge4/
Please sign on and distribute widely.
An ACTION KIT FOR LOCAL ACTIVISTS can be downloaded at: http://www.healthcoalition.ca/pledge.html
The kit includes the Pledge form for candidates and public office holders, as well as a backgrounder on privatization and much more!
Thanks for your support.
